Deep Thought of the Day: When the chairman introduced the guest speaker as a former illegal alien, I got up from my chair and yelled, "What's the matter, no jobs on Mars?" When no one laughed, I was real embarrassed. I don't think people should make you feel that way.

Deep Thought of the Day: I don't understand people who say life is a mystery, because what is it they want to know?

How many of have been lied to severally? A lie hurts more when It's being told by someone you love, respect or hold in regards. Not even going to go into my own cases..... So not to fall a victim again, I decided to empower myself with how to know the difference between a lie and the truth. Now trust me, I can tell 80% of the time when someone is lying to me. How did I learn this trick? See it below...plus just not trusting anyone.

1. Know their baseline behavior. Many years of research have proven that it's incredibly difficult to know if someone is lying unless you have prior exposure to his or her baseline behavior and know how they normally act. Be wary of making important deals with people until you've gotten to know them. Watch the person in a variety of situations to ascertain their normal speech patterns, gestures and facial expressions. Then see if those patterns change under questioning.Also, avoid entering into agreements over the phone. Studies show people are most likely to lie via telephone.

2. Establish rapport. Get them relaxed and comfortable. Subtly mimic their posture and movements; speak in their style. This will relax them and wear down their guard.

3. Ask for minute details. Liars hate to give detail and often are evasive. Though con artists normally rehearse their lies and may look completely at ease answering your questions; ask for a lot of specifics. It will be difficult for them to remember what they told you, and they'll eventually trip themselves up. You may want to interrupt them with an unrelated question while they're in the midst of their story, then bring them back to their explanation and see how well it hangs together.

4. Watch for "false" facial expressions. According to Ekman, even the most practiced liars are unable to produce the minute movements in the upper part of the face that naturally come when certain emotions are felt. For example, if someone truly feels fear or sadness their forehead will crease. And when people are genuinely happy, their eye muscles will be involved in their smile. Ekman also says a sign that someone is feigning an emotion is that the facial expressions or onset or offset of the emotion is too abrupt.

5. Give them an out. Finally, make it easy for them to tell you the truth. Never show surprise or a negative reaction. Pretend you either didn't hear them correctly or didn't understand what they said. Always leave a way out so they can recant their words and tell you the truth!


Don't take this information for granted. It really will help you spot who is lying to you. It's better for you to know the truth now, because eventually you'll find it out. And it will hurt more then. What do you guys think?

Nothing much last night……

Quote from someone else…but says it all:
I used to think it was natural for people to be born with common sense but apparently it’s a luxury gene now. But, I don’t think it’s entirely just lack of intelligence/extreme ignorance but also the fact that people only see/hear/do what they want to see/hear/do….a selfish society. Very few people do things anymore out of the goodness of their hearts, expecting nothing in return. So many people expect something for nothing and more often then not have an ulterior motive that benefits them. Not only is government corrupt but so is our society. Good still exists but it’s certainly much harder to come by.

Iowa Caucuses are over….good! Not going to get into this one…..

Austin has basketball tomorrow.

Man falls from skyscraper, lives to tell the horror

Some sledding party tomorrow that I'm going to miss again for the 3rd straight year. Enjoy guys!

"You old white people. It is your duty to die."

HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!

"Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock. Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die. Through love of having children, we are going to take over. Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets.

"They're afraid we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They're right. We will take them over . . .. We are here to stay." Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council.

"The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot." Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico.

"We have an aging white America .. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population. I love it. They are sh------ in their pants with fear. I love it." Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas

"Remember 187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--it was the last gasp of white America in California " Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party , !!!

"We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citize ns of this country. I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back." Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, !!!

"California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. " Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton

"We are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California " Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General

"We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos." Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University

Are these just the words of a few extremists?? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are mainstream Mexican leaders.

THE U.S. VS MEXICO : On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts?

Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon,Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more. Wake up Americans.

DID YOU KNOW?: Did you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so?

According to the L.A. Times, Orange County , California is home to 275+ gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing ?

Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."

WHEN I WAS YOUNG: When I was young, I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island .. They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breath free. They wanted to become Americans.
We welcome legal immigrants who come to this country the right way!!

Now too many immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand special privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.

Deep Thought of the Day: Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants.
